I‘D WAGER THAT MORE PLANS HAVE BEEN
TURNED UPSIDE DOWN THAN EXECUTED.
To progress in sport, you need goals to
challenge and motivate you. Moreover, they
have to become the centre of your world.
After all, you have to pour your blood, sweat
and tears into it, while not losing that sense of
fun – an unparalleled balancing act! If you lose
interest in your goals, it‘s a good indication
the goals are either too easy or too difficult,
that smaller goals are missing along the way,
or that they just aren‘t that important to you.
You obviously need to adjust your course
if you lose focus, despite having clear goals.
Even after a professional career, many an
athlete will find themselves filling their life
with new plans. After all, they don‘t know any
other way.
